Cinema Politica Fredericton presents Offshore Banking/Tax Havens

Offshore Banking/Tax Havens: Didn’t you know you knew? (A. Gingras / Canada / 2014 / 23 min.) screens at Conserver House, located at 180 Saint John Street. This film examines how Hollywood movies, comic strips, and thrillers of all origins have depicted tax havens for decades, focusing on this issue long before it was taken up by activists, intellectuals, or journalists. These narratives are significant in that they reveal the audience’s intuitive awareness of tax havens. Popular culture tells us that this awareness exists; the goal now is to bring it to a political level.

The film will be followed by an optional discussion with special guest expert, Alain Deneault, author of Legalizing Theft: A Short Guide to Tax Havens (2018). All are welcome. Screenings are free but donations are welcome. Conserver House location is wheelchair accessible but the washrooms are up the stairs.
